Wedding Warning: Try on Your Wedding Rings Before the Ceremony!

“Does anybody have some Crisco?” is not what a bride intends to yell to her guests while she’s exchanging rings with her groom ...

But that’s exactly what my friend Hollie cried out while standing at the end of the aisle two weeks ago!

She and her groom remembered to pick up their rings from the jeweler, but they forgot to try them on before their wedding. And the groom’s ring didn't slide on without a fight! They wrestled it on—but oh my awkward!

Would you (or did you) think to try on your wedding rings ahead of time? We certainly didn’t!
